The platform Submittable is being used for the submission of applications. External evaluators will review the applications directly on submittable and record their evaluations on the platform.

After opening the call and receiving applications within the open call period, the submissions will be evaluated, and the best 30 applicants will be invited to pitch trainings. Subsequently, there will be a second round of submission. After having received video pitches of the 30 pre-selected candidates, the best 6 will be chosen and invited to the EIT Manufacturing Summit in December. There they will pitch their projects live to a jury and will get informed right after a short consultation of the jury about the outcome.
